Rice Paper Samosas

Rice Paper Samosas

These crispy rice paper samosas are filled with a spiced potato and vegetable mixture, wrapped in delicate rice paper, and shallow-fried to golden perfection. A modern twist on a classic favorite, they’re quick to make and incredibly satisfying.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 samosas 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Rice Paper Sheets – softened in warm water
  • 2 medium Potatoes – boiled and mashed
  • ½ cup Green Peas – cooked
  • 1 small Carrot – finely grated
  • 1 small Onion – chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic – minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger – grated
  • 1 Green Chili – finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro – chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • ½ teaspoon Cumin Seeds – toasted
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – for frying

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet with a thin layer of oil over medium heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, onions, garlic, ginger, green chili, cilantro, garam masala, cumin, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Keep the skillet warm and ready with oil lightly shimmering.
  4. Dip a rice paper sheet in warm water for 5–10 seconds. Lay it on a clean surface, place a spoonful of filling near one edge, then fold into a triangle. Repeat with a second sheet to double wrap.
  5. Place samosas in the skillet and fry each side until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dip.

Notes

  • Only dip rice paper briefly to avoid tearing.
  • Use two sheets for sturdier samosas.
  • Don’t overfill or they may burst while frying.
  • Enjoy immediately for maximum crispiness.
